  1. Bicycles are/should be insured at replacement value.
  2. That's what I expected from Oakley too, but no ...
  3. Our meeting spot is about 2-3km from home and used to be a nice warmup. But now I'm also having to drive there. #gatvol

  5. A couple of minutes for an experienced "wrapper". Like the others have said, your LBS will help you.

    All sports need characters performing at their best. Hopefully this is a good year for Cav.!
  7. Both good brands/bikes. We were debating on our ride yesterday and general consensus was that best value reputable brand would be Scott or Giant.
  8. Possibly see it used more in touring scenarios. It doesn't seem practical other than for storage. Retrieving a water bottle on the go probably isn't recommended, and I doubt one would want to drink directly from a bottle mounted there anyway.
  9. Italian for Google it.? LOL Com'on Qhubeka, give us an unexpected victory.!!
  10. Wish my Italian was better ... Am I seeing Qhubeka among some big guns in the lead group with 2 more riders in the chase group.?
  11. LOL... wish my Italian was better too. Am I seeing Qhubeka among some big guns in the lead group with 2 more riders in the chase group.?
  12. Inspect the helmet VERY closely. Often it can look fine on quick inspection only to be shocked by its actual condition after a crash.
  13. There are still really good folk out there.! When we don't get the opportunity to reciprocate, try to pay it forward.
  14. Not that I'm aware of. If it doesn't come soon I may be forced to try something else. Enduro Seal has been mentioned often recently.
  15. No, peninsula and surrounds would be our normal routes but on Sunday we went out to Durbanville, Fisantekraal and beyond instead. Still trying to figure out why we'd trade the roads and views of the southern peninsula for that ! LOL
  16. Went out north today but our group had a torrid time with punctures and mechanicals. This pic was taken on our way out before the bad luck started ...
  17. There are threads dedicated to poor communication ... which by the way, is applicable to both sellers and buyers. How long have you been waiting.? ("soon" is relative so perhaps details will still be sent)
  18. Ok, wasn't too sure about the rim bed of the EC70. Check for any damage around the valve hole, and also check valve for damage. Sometimes it's also a case of using a different valve that matches the rim profile better.
  19. Wow.! I tried white once and only managed a couple of rides before switching back to black.
  20. I assume it's a taped tubeless setup.? Good chance your tape has come loose or ripped somewhere causing the leak. Re-tape the wheel.
  21. Site still seems active but no responses. Anybody know current status of operations.?
  22. What would the minimum compressor spec be for seating tyres, particularly road tubeless.?
  23. Another very special morning in the Cape ...
  24. Sounds like something that belongs on the daily deals and specials thread. LOL https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/159726-daily-deals-and-specials/page-1?do=findComment&comment=2344503
  25. Ryder is an underrated brand with a few really nice items. I have no experience with this particular pump but good to know that it works well. There are a few of these air tank pumps on the market but some are hit and miss.
